Bobcat sighting at Red Lake


Guests always report on the wildlife they have seen en route to Red Lake and we don't very often get reports of bobcat. Thanks to Sean's quick camera action, not only do we get to see an adult cat but her cub as well.

Fernandez Fishing Trip at Sunset Lodge

Long time guests at Sunset Lodge, Dan and Lori have just left for home, but wanted to share some photos before they departed. The highlights of the trip are a 39" Laker, 43" northern and a 26.5" walleye for Dan. Lori boasts a 27.25" walleye, 35" northern and a 20" trout. They spent a lot of hours on Red Lake but didn't venture far from Slate Bay. As they put it "fishing was so good there, why go all over the place." They also had an opportunity to see a moose swimming across a bay.

Walleye & Northern Fishing for June

Just wanted to share some of the catches that have been coming in. With the late Ice out on Red Lake this season, the fishing pattern has been a little different for most of our guests here at Sunset Lodge with water temps staying cool well into June but that didn't slow down the fishing at all. Everyone has been getting good numbers and we are seeing lots of big fish.

In early June, Shane landed a 45" Northern which had a 16" girth; a really beautiful fish. Hope to get a picture of that one Dennis. The group caught a lot of 20" to 28" walleye.

Craig and Jeff had a great trip during the first week of the season with 7 Northern over 40" the largest was 45" ..........and 15 walleye over 27" the largest being 29".

Now Becky got in trouble this year when Hubby Craig locked into a 40" Laker on walleye setup. There is no picture for this one.......Becky forgot the camera. Jeez.....good job there were 2 witnesses in the boat Craig! Otherwise we might take this to be a fishy story!

Ralph also gets a mention for his 29 7/8" walleye which weighed in at about 10lb.

The Silewski group also had a good week. They saw a lot of nice size fish. Randy caught a nice sized walleye that was "as round as it was long....just a pig of a walleye!"

The best part of this report is that everyone practiced Catch, Photo, Release on these trophies!
